S A I N T

I opened my eyes and then I sighed. I can't believe summer is over and it's the first day of school today. In just a blink of an eye, I'm now a Senior High School student. I never even got the chance to enjoy summer because I needed to take summer classes in order to expand my knowledge which my parents says so.

I signed again and this time it was deeper and longer. I got up on my bed and did my morning rituals. I can't afford to be late on my first day of school.

When I felt like I'm ready that's when I left my dorm room. It's located not far away from the school, just a walking distance. My parents paid for it because our house is too far away from the school and I also need to start to learn how to be independent because college will just be 2 years ahead.

On the way out of the dorm I saw Mrs. Plakorn in her garden and feeding her little flowers some water. She's the owner of the dorm and she's the one keeping it clean too. She noticed me when I was half way to her.

" Oh Saint good morning, is it your first day of school today? " She asked when I was a few steps away from her.

" Good morning Mrs. Plakorn. Yes it is my first day of school. " I wai and gave her a warm smile which she returned as well.

" Well then you must keep going na, goodluck dear. " She said.

" I will, thank you Mrs. Plakorn. " I said and bid her goodbye.

Going to the school isn't really a problem, it's only 2 blocks away, it's a good exercise too in the morning.

While on the way there I saw a group of boys who are wearing the same uniform as mine. They must be one of my school mates. They're giggling and patting each other's back.

Friends. I never really understood the  real meaning of that word. Yes, it's just one search away to google but for me, those kind of things takes experience to be able to define it's meaning. I'll be unsure if it's really real and I'll keep thinking of it. You know what? Just nevermind. I'm just a loner boy who likes to study. I don't have friends not because I don't want to but because no one wants to.

In my old school, everyone thinks we're on a competition. Grades matter the most. We have no time of making friends because we're too busy filling all the knowledge on our heads. We trust no one inside our classroom, everyone is like an enemy. I lived like that for about almost of my life. I was sick of that environment so I told my parents everything and they decided to enroll me on a school that I may like. I just told them any school would do just not like the previous one.

I'm glad that they understood me. I'm a teenager but I don't feel like one. I want to have fun, be happy and maybe make some friends too before I step into college and be an adult. I also wanna experience the word called love. I wanna know why the books that I read thinks it's the most beautiful thing a man could feel. I'm really curious.

Going back to reality. I'm now inside the school. The students looks odd for me. They look alive and happy. Group by group they're laughing and telling each other that it's been a long time. I'm stunned that there's a side of humanity like this. In my previous school, during these times students will either be on their classroom reading books or in the library doing their research even though it's the first day of school. I smiled and started to make my way to the dean office to get my schedule.

After that I search for my possible classroom. I silently curse myself for not asking for directions to the dean. This school is too big where will I start?
